Exchange with R. Goss after South Africa Trip (1964)

Dear Rabbi Goss: It is barely a week that I have returned from South Africa, but I wish to hasten to thank you for all your friendship and guidance during the time that I spent in your community. I feel that knowing you and speaking with you as I did has immeasurably broadened my own horizons. Whatever little I might have contributed to the community, I believe I gained much more especially as a result of knowing you. I do hope that you have long recovered from the illness which kept you in bed during my last day or two in Johannesburg. Please convey my very fondest regards to Mrs. Goss and to all our friends. I do hope and pray that the time will not be long that you will be visiting New York and I will have the opportunity to reciprocate in some measure your kindness towards me. Cordially yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm. P.S. I have taken the liberty of sending you some reprints of a number of articles and talks I recently gave.

Exchange with Ronald Misheiker about Mementos from South Africa (1964)

My dear Rabbi Lamm, I hope that your return flight was pleasant and I can imagine the welcome that awaited you on your arrival in New York. This is just a brief note to tell you once again how much we all enjoyed your stay with us. Apart from the official aspect of your visit which was an outstanding success, all of us here – Rabbi Goss, Mr. Horwitz and I, look back on your visit as a very pleasant and rewarding experience and one during which we all think we have cemented a lasting friendship. It is not easy at our age to form new friendships and the fact that all three of us as well as members of the Board have taken you to our hearts is proof of the impact you have made on us all. The books you left behind are being posted to you, the scrapbook is almost complete and will be sent to you in the very near future and the tape of your Conference address will be posted to you as soon as sufficient copies are made for our use; this should not take very long. With best wishes and warmest regards to you and your family. Yours sincerely, A. Misheiker, Organiser-Secretary
